User talk:Jqpope

Hello everyone, John Pope here from Nokia's corporate communications department. This is my first experience with a talk page so I apologize up front for any novice mistakes. In short, our intent is to transparently work with the Wiki community to help ensure that the Stephen Elop biographical content is brought up to date with relevant, well-sourced information. In that spirit, we'd like consideration for someone to appropriately include all or part of a proposed addition (with 5 citations) to the end of the page. Please let us know what you think.

Proposed Copy: In April 2013, Nokia announced that shipments of Lumia Windows Phone smartphones reached 5.6 million for the first quarter of 2013, the highest for any quarter since the decision to switch to Windows Phone (http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/18/4238038/nokia-lumia-sales-q1-2013). Elop also announced that the first quarter period represented the third successive quarter in which Nokia had generated an underlying operating profit (http://www.results.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2013Q1e.pdf). AllThingsD remarked that “while not spectacular”, sales of Nokia’s Lumia line “have been rising” (http://allthingsd.com/20130418/nokias-q1-question-mark/). RBC analyst Mark Sue commented that “Nokia has been largely headed in the right direction” (http://allthingsd.com/20130418/nokias-q1-question-mark/), while IDC analyst Francisco Jeronimo described Nokia’s Lumia sales for the first three months of 2013 as “quite promising”, adding that “they are on a right track and we can see a much better year for Nokia smartphones” (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22197404).
